Oh for the love of.....

Dear BBC,

I love you, I do. Really. I consider my licence fee good value for money and don't begrudge paying it. But you have just made the biggest howler of your broadcasting existence.

Matt Smith as the new Dr Who?

He's 26.

Young, pretty, probably perfect teeth. Aiming at the US market much? He looks like an actor who failed an audition for Twilight, for pities sakes!

No. Just no. ANYONE ELSE would have been better. And why NOT Patterson Joseph? Seriously? A black Doctor would have killed you?

You stupid people. This was the most important casting choice you've had to make since Eccleston left. You got that right, but you've fouled this up beyond all belief. You will now have to watch your choice weather six months of blistering hate and wank before he even shoots one foot of film, which is grossly unfair to him and the show. You think the franchise will survive this? Newsflash - it probably won't.

You are all fucking idiots. And I can't even blame RTD for this, this was Moffat's choice.

No love whatsoever,

Me.

PS: If anyone wants me, I'll be over here, in my bunker...the wank is going to be epic.

PPS: No offence to Matt Smith, he seems a nice guy. I hope he does well. But I may not be watching.

Feargal Sharkey + Barry McGuigan + a bit of the young Colin Baker. Oh god.

Couldn't they have found someone with some sort of identifiable personality?

Well he has got time to develop how he wants to play the role, to be fair. Eh. I'm calming down a smidge but I'm not jazzed for the new doctor like I could have been.

Exactly. Yes. Thank you.

And because it cannot be said too many times... Why NOT Patterson Joseph?

((kicks the BBC))

Here, you forgot to wear the spikey steel capped boots *passes over* :)

I know he has been in at least one well known series - but I have never seen him act before soooooo I stay schtum for two adventures.

*it doesn't matter how old he is* the face is always that just a face and a personality aspect ...

But - I must say when I glanced at the paper in the shop this morning I did gulp a bit.
